It’s official! I was proud to join @GovTimWalz in Minneapolis today as he signed background checks and extreme risk protection orders into law.

The team at @GIFFORDS_org worked with lawmakers day in and out to make this legislation a reality. I’m grateful to all of them. #mnleg

The Elections Omnibus is ready for a vote in the Senate and House as part of the State Gov and Elections Conference Committee Report.

There are a lot of big wins for our democracy in this bill, including...

Facilitating voting for people in assisted living facilities!

[Minnesota Public Health Association @MNPublicHealth]

More transit reduces the use of cars and the air pollution that often follows. That's good for public health.

TY @MoveMinnesota !
